Zest of 1 lemon (not the end of the world if you don't have any - don't fuss)

How to do it:

Fry the onions over a low heat until they become golden and caramelized.

Put to one side to cool.

Using a Sharp knife, cut each chicken fillet along one edge being careful not to cut right in half, so that they open like a book.

Place one at a time in between some cling film and bash with something 'bashable'! (a mallet type thing). So that they are quite flattened.This will make them a lot thinner so they will cook a lot quicker.

Pat dry with kitchen paper and season. I only used pepper, no salt because of the cheese.

Place onto a lightly oiled tray and spread the cream cheese over the top of them.

Now put the onions over the top and then grate the 'Cornish Cruncher' cheese (or whatever Cheddar you are using) on top followed by the lemon zest.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C/400F/Gas 6 for about 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

I did some potatoes roasted with red onions and bacon and also had did some green beans.

Hi and welcome I'm Jan. I love cooking and of course eating. It has to be said I do like a nice kitchen gadget or fifty. I'm concerned I might be a bit of a gadget hoarder and also a food shopaholic. Click on my photo to read more!
